mindmeld: Another way to look at LU and CSCO is market cap.

LU = ~$83 billion MC on $28 billion in revenue
CSCO = ~$70 billion MC on $ 8 billion in revenue

If CSCO doubles their revenue to 16 billion, should the stock double for a MC of ~140 billion? We could look at PE, but CSCO and Lucent are purchasing companies left and right. Lucent's purchase of Octel ran ~1.5billion against earnings.... until later.
